They hold a referendum !!!
Clive I've been working in Switzerland for some time now and I find their political system very interesting.
Ben Isn't it very similar to ours ?
Clive Not really, there is much more direct democracy there.
Ben How does it work ?
Clive If there is an important question to be decided, at national or local level, they hold a referendum so that the people can decide for themselves.
